You can begin your visit by looking for the herd of Wild Dala Horses that roam the town. These structures are masterpieces that have been individually decorated. Make a point of visiting the Höglund Dugout. This historical site was once a small home built in a pit by a Swedish couple in 1868. They even erected a roof out of their wagon. What remains of this structure can be seen today. Stop by Heritage Square as you explore this charming town. Many historic buildings can be found here, including the 1904 World's Fair Swedish Pavilion, the 1879 Kansas Pacific/Union Pacific Railroad Depot, and the first McPherson County Courthouse.
